X300 - Getting started

3.1 Be outdoors

The X300 is not intended for operation indoors or under water

as it uses Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites to get

time and date information, and to calculate distance and

speed. For best results, always use the X300 outdoors with an

unobstructed view of the sky.

3.2 Fit the X300

The X300 is designed to be worn on the left upper arm. The

easiest way to fit the unit is to feed the strap through the

fastener to create a loose enclosure. Then slide your left arm

through the enclosure and tighten the strap after the unit is in a

comfortable position.

3.3 Startup

Press and hold

to turn the power on and enter setup, OR

press

to turn the power on and start normal operation.

First start may take up to 80 seconds to get all the satellite data

Flashing = seeking GPS data
Constant = GPS data obtained

3.0 Getting started

!

Always enter setup first if you wish to change settings.
To enter setup after starting normal operation, you will
need to shut down and re-start the unit.
